DNA-methylation-mediated silencing of miR-486-5p promotes colorectal cancer proliferation and migration through activation of PLAGL2/IGF2/β-catenin signal pathways.

ABSTRACT: As one of the most common cancers worldwide, colorectal cancer (CRC) causes a large number of mortality annually. Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is significantly associated with the initiation and development of CRC. Further investigations regarding the regulatory mechanism of miRNAs is warranted. In this study, we discovered that miR-486-5p was remarkably downregulated in CRC, which partially results from higher DNA methylation in the promoter region detected by using methylation-specific PCR, bisulfite sequencing PCR, and DNA demethylation treatment. Besides, decreased miR-486-5p was obviously associated with advanced TNM stage, larger tumor size, lymphatic metastasis, and poor prognosis in CRC. Upregulated miR-486-5p inhibited the proliferation and migration of CRC through targeting PLAGL2 expression and subsequent repressing IGF/β-catenin signal pathways both in vitro and in vivo. Notably, plasma miR-486-5p expression was significantly upregulated in CRC patients and we identified plasma miR-486-5p as a novel diagnostic biomarker of CRC using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Moreover, exploration in GEO dataset revealed that circulating miR-486-5p is tumor derived through being packaged into secretory exosomes. Taken together, our data demonstrated that miR-486-5p promotes colorectal cancer proliferation and migration through activation of PLAGL2/IGF2/β-catenin signal pathway, which is a promising therapeutic target of CRC treatment.

Regulation of follistatin-like 3 expression by miR-486-5p modulates gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration and tumor progression.

Project description:Cancer development and progression can be regulated by the levels of endogenous factors. Gastric cancer is an aggressive disease state with poor patient prognosis, needing the development of new diagnostics and therapeutic strategies. We investigated the close association between follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3) and different cancers, and focused on its role in gastric cancer cell function. Using cancer bioinformatics, we found that FSTL3 expression is elevated in a large majority of the 33 cancers we analyzed in publicly available cancer databases. Elevated levels of FSTL3 is associated with poor patient prognosis in gastric cancer. In a comparison of normal gastric epithelial cells and gastric cancer cell lines, FSTL3 expression was consistently elevated in gastric cancer cells. Overexpression of FSTL3 promoted gastric cancer cell viability, proliferation and migration. Conversely, FSTL3 knockdown inhibits these cellular processes. Using bioinformatics, we found that the FSTL3 mRNA has a potential binding site in the 3'-UTR for a small microRNA, miR-486-5p. Further bioinformatics revealed significant negative correlation between FSTL3 and miR-486-5p levels. Using luciferase reporter constructs, we provide evidence that the 3'UTR from the FSTL3 mRNA can confer downregulation in the presence of miR-486-5p. These studies lead us to conclude that FSTL3 has oncogenic properties and increased expression of this gene product promotes gastric cancer development and progression.

miR-486-5p expression is regulated by DNA methylation in osteosarcoma.

Project description:BackgroundOsteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumour of bone occurring in children and young adolescents and is characterised by complex genetic and epigenetic changes. The miRNA miR-486-5p has been shown to be downregulated in osteosarcoma and in cancer in general.ResultsTo investigate if the mir-486 locus is epigenetically regulated, we integrated DNA methylation and miR-486-5p expression data using cohorts of osteosarcoma cell lines and patient samples. A CpG island in the promoter of the ANK1 host gene of mir-486 was shown to be highly methylated in osteosarcoma cell lines as determined by methylation-specific PCR and direct bisulfite sequencing. High methylation levels were seen for osteosarcoma patient samples, xenografts and cell lines based on quantitative methylation-specific PCR. 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine treatment of osteosarcoma cell lines caused induction of miR-486-5p and ANK1, indicating common epigenetic regulation in osteosarcoma cell lines. When overexpressed, miR-486-5p affected cell morphology.ConclusionsmiR-486-5p represents a highly cancer relevant, epigenetically regulated miRNA in osteosarcoma, and this knowledge contributes to the understanding of osteosarcoma biology.

Circ-TCF4.85 silencing inhibits cancer progression through microRNA-486-5p-targeted inhibition of ABCF2 in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:The current study aimed to explore the role of the circular RNA circ-TCF4.85 and its downstream target microRNA-486-5p (miR-486-5p) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Circ-TCF4.85 was detected to be highly expressed in HCC tissues. Next, we found that silencing of circ-TCF4.85 repressed HCC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, while enhancing apoptosis. In addition, biotin-coupled probe pull-down and miRNA capture assays, as well as fluorescence in situ hybridization, confirmed that circ-TCF4.85 could bind to miR-486-5p. In rescue experiments, miR-486-5p had the potential to eliminate the tumor-suppressive effects of circ-TCF4.85 knockdown in HCC. Moreover, miR-486-5p was shown to target ABCF2 gene, which was positively regulated by circ-TCF4.85. Finally, nude mice subcutaneously injected with si-circ-TCF4.85-transfected HCC cells presented with inhibited xenograft tumor formation in vivo. Taken together, our results reveal that silencing of circ-TCF4.85 suppresses HCC progression via miR-486-5p-targeted inhibition of ABCF2.

MiRNA-196-5p Promotes Proliferation and Migration in Cholangiocarcinoma via HAND1/Wnt/<i>β</i>-Catenin Signaling Pathway.

Project description:Accumulating evidence has indicated the crucial role of microRNA-196 in mediating tumor progression, while its significance in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remains unclear. In this study, we provided the first evidence that the expression level of miR-196-5p is elevated in both CCA cell lines and clinic specimen. MiR-196-5p inhibition notably suppressed cell proliferation as well as metastasis in CCA cell line HuCCT1. Furthermore, the interaction between miR-196-5p and its downstream molecule HAND1 was verified. Moreover, a series of rescue assay verified that both HAND1 and β-catenin silencing could reverse the abnormal elevated cell proliferation and migration brought by miR-196-5p elevation, indicating that HAND1/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activation is essential for miR-196-5p to exert its roles. In summary, we successfully depict the oncogenic role of miR-196-5p in promoting cell proliferation and migration in CCA via HAND1/Wnt/β-catenin axis.

PLAGL2 promotes the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells via USP37-mediated deubiquitination of Snail1.

Project description:Rationale: PLAGL2 (pleomorphic adenoma gene like-2), a zinc finger PLAG transcription factor, is aberrantly expressed in several malignant tumors. However, the biological roles of PLAGL2 and its underlying mechanism in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. Methods: A series of experiments in vitro and in vivo were conducted to reveal the role of PLAGL2 in GC progression. Results: The data revealed that PLAGL2 promotes GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we demonstrated the critical role of PLAGL2 in the stabilization of snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (Snail1) and promoting Snail1-mediated proliferation and migration of GC cells. PLAGL2 activated the transcription of deubiquitinase USP37, which then interacted with and deubiquitinated Snail1 protein directly. In addition, GSK-3β-dependent phosphorylation of Snail1 protein is essential for USP37-mediated Snail1 deubiquitination regulation. Conclusions: In general, PLAGL2 promotes the proliferation and migration of GC cells through USP37-mediated deubiquitination of Snail1 protein. This work provided potential therapeutic targets for GC treatment.

Plant MIR167e-5p Inhibits Enterocyte Proliferation by Targeting ?-Catenin.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important negative regulators of genes involved in physiological and pathological processes in plants and animals. It is worth exploring whether plant miRNAs play a cross-kingdom regulatory role in animals. Herein, we found that plant MIR167e-5p regulates the proliferation of enterocytes in vitro. A porcine jejunum epithelial cell line (IPEC-J2) and a human colon carcinoma cell line (Caco-2) were treated with 0, 10, 20, and 40 pmol of synthetic 2'-O-methylated plant MIR167e-5p, followed by a treatment with 20 pmol of MIR167e-5p for 0, 24, 48, and 72 h. The cells were counted, and IPEC-J2 cell viability was determined by the MTT and EdU assays at different time points. The results showed that MIR167e-5p significantly inhibited the proliferation of enterocytes in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Bioinformatics prediction and a luciferase reporter assay indicated that MIR167e-5p targets ?-catenin. In IPEC-J2 and Caco-2 cells, MIR167e-5p suppressed proliferation by downregulating ?-catenin mRNA and protein levels. MIR167e-5p relieved this inhibition. Similar results were achieved for the ?-catenin downstream target gene c-Myc and the proliferation-associated gene PCNA. This research demonstrates that plant MIR167e-5p can inhibit enterocyte proliferation by targeting the ?-catenin pathway. More importantly, plant miRNAs may be a new class of bioactive molecules for epigenetic regulation in humans and animals.

MiR-486-5p negatively regulates oncogenic NEK2 in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:NEK2 is a member of the NIMA-related family of serine/threonine centrosomal kinases. We analyzed the relationship between differential expression of NEK2 and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient outcomes after liver transplants. We also studied the microRNAs that affect NEK2 expression. Analysis of multiple microarrays in the Oncomine database revealed that NEK2 expression was higher in HCC tissues than adjacent normal liver tissues. High NEK2 expression correlated with tumor size, pathological grade and macro- and microvascular invasion. Consequently, patients exhibiting high NEK2 expression had poorer prognosis. This was corroborated by our multivariate analysis that showed NEK2 to be an independent prognostic factor for HCC patient survival. Further, high NEK2 expression promoted proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion of HCC cell lines. Tumor xenograft data from Balb/c nude mice demonstrated that HCC cells with high NEK2 expression formed larger tumors than those with low NEK2 expression. Finally, we showed that miR-486-5p suppressed NEK2 by directly binding to its transcript 3'UTR. We also demonstrated an inverse relationship between miR-486-5p and NEK2 expression in HCC patients. These findings suggest miR-486-5p negatively regulates NEK2, which is a critical prognostic indicator of HCC patient survival after liver transplantation.

LncRNA NEAT1/miR-185-5p/IGF2 axis regulates the invasion and migration of colon cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) are important in the growth and metastasis of colon cancer. The objective of this study was to describe the potential role of lncRNA NEAT1 in the progression of colon cancer. METHODS:Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used for detecting NEAT1, miR-185-5p, and IGF2 in colon cancer cells and tissues. The potential diagnostic value of NEAT1 in colon cancer was analyzed with the receiver operating characteristic curve. Kaplan-Meier method was applied for evaluating the association between NEAT1 expression and the overall survival of osteosarcoma patients, whereas Transwell assay was introduced to examine the potential invasion and migration of colon cancer cells. In addition, the binding of NEAT1/IGF2 to miR-185-5p was confirmed by RNA pull-down and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assays and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Finally, rescue experiments were conducted to confirm the role of NEAT1/miR-185-5p/IGF2 axis in colon cancer. RESULTS:Colon cancer patients with low NEAT1 expression presented with longer overall survival than those with high expression. The migration and invasion of colon cancer cells were considerably promoted by overexpressed NEAT1. Both NEAT1 and IGF2 bound to miR-185-5p. CONCLUSION:NEAT1 upregulate IGF2 expression through absorbing miR-185-5p to enhances the migration and invasion of colon cancer cells.

miR‑486‑5p suppresses gastric cancer cell growth and migration through downregulation of fibroblast growth factor 9.

Project description:Non‑coding RNAs serve essential roles in regulating mRNA and protein expression and dysregulation of non‑coding RNAs participates in a variety of types of cancer. microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs), which are 21‑24 nucleotides non‑coding RNAs, have been shown to be important for the development of gastric cancer (GC). However, the role of miR‑486‑5p in GC remains to be elucidated. The present study found that miR‑486‑5p was downregulated in GC tissues. Comparing with gastric normal cells GES‑1, GC cells, including MKN‑45, AGS, HGC27 and MKN74, had reduced abundance of miR‑486‑5p transcript. CCK8 and colony formation assays demonstrated that GC cell growth and proliferation were enhanced by miR‑486‑5p inhibitors and were suppressed by miR‑486‑5p mimics. miR‑486‑5p also suppressed cell cycle process and migration and promoted apoptosis in GC cells, as verified by propidium iodide (PI) staining, Transwell assay and PI/Annexin V staining. miR‑486‑5p downregulated fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) through combining to its 3'untranslated region. Overexpression of FGF9 accelerated the growth and proliferation of GC cells. The expression of miR‑486‑5p was negatively associated with FGF9 mRNA expression in GC samples. These results revealed that miR‑486‑5p was a tumor suppressor in GC. Downregulation of FGF9 contributed to the role of miR‑486‑5p in GC.

MiR-486-3p inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of retinoblastoma cells by targeting ECM1.

Project description:It has been reported that miR-486-3p expression is decreased in retinoblastoma (RB) tumor tissues, however, its function in RB has been less reported. The present study aimed to explore the regulatory effects of miR-486-3p on RB cells. The expression of miR-486-3p in RB tissues and cells was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion ability were determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) kit, clone formation assay, flow cytometry, scratch assay and transwell, respectively. Targetscan 7.2 and dual-luciferase reporter were used to verify target genes for miR-486-3p. The expressions of apoptosis-related proteins and ECM1 were detected by Western blot. The miR-486-3p expression was decreased in RB tissues and cells. In RB cells, overexpression of miR-486-3p inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while promoted apoptosis. Moreover, overexpression of miR-486-3p decreased Bcl-2 expression, while increased the expressions of Bax and Cleaved Caspase-3 (C caspase-3). ECM1 was the target gene of miR-486-3p, and miR-486-3p inhibited the expression of ECM1. Furthermore, ECM1 partially reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-486-3p on the proliferation, migration and invasion of RB cells. MiR-486-3p inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of RB by down-regulating ECM1.
